NLFORUM.ORG dates back to June 27, 2011; its registration is valid until June 27, 2022. This gives it about 15 years of history. Key-Systems GmbH (IANA ID 269) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. The registrant country on record is Netherlands. Its nameservers are ernest.ns.cloudflare.com and elma.ns.cloudflare.com, hosted with Cloudflare. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.
The record was updated in 27 fields between April 5, 2022 and June 22, 2022. The same nameservers stayed in place, only their order changed.

The Whois Data Center archive contains 8 historical WHOIS snapshots for NLFORUM.ORG. The newest snapshot was taken on June 22, 2022. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
